All rights reserved.BEIJING , Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced the development of a Quantum Technology-Based Random Access Memory Architecture, known as QRAM. This architecture successfully implements fundamental logical operations such as AND, OR, NOT, and NOR gates in quantum logic gates by combining key basic operations in quantum computing, such as the CNOT gate, V gate, and V+ gate. Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) is a memory architecture specifically designed for quantum computing environments, with the core goal of enabling efficient reading and writing of information while maintaining the state of the quantum system. The design of QRAM is not only intended to leverage the parallel processing capabilities of quantum computing but also to utilize quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement to significantly enhance computational efficiency. In WiMi's QRAM architecture, the quantum CNOT gate, V gate, and V+ gate serve as the fundamental operation units. Each quantum operation is equivalent to certain logical operations in classical computing, but simultaneously leverages the properties of quantum states to achieve efficient computation. CNOT Gate (Controlled-NOT Gate): The CNOT gate is a crucial operation in quantum computing, used to control the relationship between two quantum bits (qubits). In classical computing, this is similar to the function of an XOR gate, but in the quantum environment, it allows qubits to exist in a superposition of states, enabling the simultaneous processing of multiple states. V Gate and V+ Gate: The V gate and V+ gate are quantum gates used to implement more complex logic. The operations of these two gates are similar to the AND and OR gates in classical computing. However, their advantage lies in the ability to process multiple potential outcomes in the quantum system simultaneously, without the need to evaluate each possibility separately. By combining these fundamental quantum gates, basic operations in quantum logic such as AND, OR, NOT, and NOR can be successfully implemented. This provides the necessary support for designing complex quantum circuits, while being more flexible and efficient compared to classical logic gates. One of the major advantages of the QRAM architecture is its full utilization of the properties of quantum superposition and quantum entanglement. In classical computing, memory read and write operations are linear and must be performed sequentially. However, in quantum computing, because qubits can exist in multiple states (superposition), parallel read and write operations can be performed simultaneously. This ability significantly enhances computational efficiency, especially when handling large-scale datasets or complex computational tasks. Additionally, quantum entanglement enables the correlation between multiple qubits without the need for direct communication, further improving the speed of data transfer and computation. Memory operations with entangled qubits are much faster and more efficient than traditional memory operations, opening up new possibilities for parallel computing. In WiMi's QRAM architecture, the entire design logic includes several key steps and technical nodes, such as quantum state-based random access, the introduction of quantum error correction mechanisms, and seamless integration with quantum computers. The core feature of QRAM is its ability to perform random access within a quantum system. Traditional computer RAM achieves reading and writing to memory units through address buses, data buses, and other components, whereas QRAM accomplishes this process through the states of quantum bits (qubits). By utilizing quantum superposition, multiple addresses can be accessed simultaneously in a single operation. This means that in a QRAM system, data can be accessed in parallel across multiple addresses, greatly improving the efficiency of data operations. To achieve this, WiMi has designed a system based on CNOT gates, V gates, and V+ gates. These quantum gates allow flexible control over memory access processes while maintaining the quantum state of the system and ensuring the efficient transmission of qubits in an entangled state. Through this system, QRAM not only enables high-speed data reading and writing, but also ensures the reliability and accuracy of information processing. Furthermore, error correction is crucial in any quantum computing system. Due to the fragile nature of qubit states, even small external disturbances can cause computational errors. Therefore, WiMi's QRAM architecture incorporates a quantum error correction mechanism to ensure that the qubit states are accurately preserved and transmitted during data reading and writing. This includes an error correction method based on quantum entanglement, where redundant entangled qubits are introduced to detect and correct potential errors. This method not only effectively reduces the impact of external noise on the system but also ensures the stability of data during multiple read operations. WiMi's QRAM design is intended to seamlessly integrate with quantum computers. Since quantum computing operations depend on the superposition and entanglement states of qubits, the QRAM system demonstrates high compatibility when interfacing with a quantum processing unit (QPU). The design ensures smooth transmission of qubits between memory and processor during data access, thereby significantly improving computational efficiency. By utilizing the V gate, V+ gate, and CNOT gate, WiMi's QRAM system can quickly execute quantum logic operations and, when handling complex computational tasks, can read and write data at near-real-time speeds. This makes QRAM a key component in large-scale quantum computing applications. The successful development of QRAM technology has had a revolutionary impact across multiple fields. As a critical component of quantum computers, QRAM will significantly enhance the overall performance of quantum computing systems. Its efficient parallel data access capabilities make it especially well-suited for handling large-scale computational tasks such as molecular simulations, climate modeling, and complex optimization problems. By significantly reducing computation time, QRAM will play an indispensable role in the future of high-performance quantum computing. Another important application of QRAM is in quantum communication and quantum encryption. By leveraging quantum entanglement, QRAM can enable high-speed data transmission while ensuring data security. The non-locality of quantum entanglement guarantees that data cannot be intercepted during transmission, providing a solid foundation for future quantum encryption technologies. With the development of quantum computing, the field of quantum machine learning has also gradually emerged. QRAM's efficient data access capabilities make it highly suitable for handling large-scale datasets, enabling model training to be completed in a shorter time. This will significantly advance the development of quantum artificial intelligence, allowing complex machine learning tasks to be solved quickly on quantum computers. As quantum technology continues to evolve, QRAM, as a core technology, will provide crucial support for the future of quantum computing. WiMi is committed to continuing the development of QRAM technology, continually optimizing its performance, reducing implementation costs, and expanding its applications across various industries. The successful development of QRAM technology marks an important step in the advancement of quantum computing. As quantum computers progress and quantum technologies mature, QRAM will become an indispensable core component of quantum computing systems. With the ongoing optimization and promotion of this technology, QRAM is expected to bring disruptive innovations across multiple fields and lay a solid foundation for the arrival of the quantum era.

PSG win again to retain lead over second-placed MonacoFormer Prime Minister of India and veteran Congress leader Dr Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at the age of 92, leaving behind a legacy of political and economic achievements. Singh, who also held the Finance portfolio in his early political days, played a key role in ushering in economic reforms in the 1990s. A celebrated economist across the globe, Dr Manmohan Singh entered politics at the height of the 1991 economic crisis when late Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao inducted him into the government as Finance Minister. Together, both the leaders steered the economy out of the balance of payments crisis and laid the foundation for the economic reforms that have been upheld by every successive government since. A stellar scholar: Manmohan Singh's academic achievements Dr Manmohan Singh completed his Matriculation examinations from Punjab University in 1948. His academic career took him from Punjab to the University of Cambridge, UK, where he earned a First Class Honours degree in Economics in 1957. Dr Singh followed this with a D. Phil in Economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962. His book, “India’s Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth” [Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1964] was an early critique of India’s inward-oriented trade policy. Manmohan Singh's academic credentials were burnished by the years he spent on the faculty of Punjab University and the prestigious Delhi School of Economics. The Indian leader had a brief stint at the UNCTAD Secretariat as well, during these years. This presaged a subsequent appointment as Secretary General of the South Commission in Geneva between 1987 and 1990. Manmohan Singh's political achievements A technocrat with an eye for politics and a long portfolio of key positions such as Reserve Bank Governor and Secretary General of the South-South Commission, made Dr Manmohan Singh, an accurate choice for Sonia Gandhi when she decided to renounce the post of Prime Minister following the backlash Dr Singh took reigns from the NDA government at a time when India was reeling under the aftermath of the 2002 post-Godhra riots surrounded by an atmosphere of communal imbalance, Singh's administration, as it believed brought in a sense of balance in the situation. One of the biggest highlights of Singh's regime was securing the India-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, which opened up civilian nuclear cooperation and was seen as a landmark moment in India’s foreign relations. It was under his government that India launched several social schemes including 'The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which provided employment opportunities to millions in rural areas. Dr Manmohan Singh's economic achievements Dr Singh's government delivered a robust 8.5 per cent GDP growth for most of his tenure but the scams- 2G, CWG and Coal block allocations-and the resultant policy paralysis of the government stymied his performance. As a Finance Minister, he played a crucial role in India's economic liberalisation in 1991, which included devaluing the rupee, reducing import tariffs, and privatising state-owned enterprises. Notably, while Singh was not directly responsible for bringing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) into effect, the groundwork for the said tax reforms was laid under his government.
Congress leaders, young and old, gathered Thursday night to lament the passing former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh , who died at Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The hospital said Mr Singh had "a sudden loss of consciousness at home ", where resuscitative measures were started, and that he had been rushed to AIIMS but, "despite all efforts", he was declared dead at 9.51 pm. Party boss Mallikarjun Kharge and former chief Rahul Gandhi, are both at a centenary session of the Congress Working Committee in Karnataka's Belagavi but are expected back in Delhi soon. Mr Gandhi grieved the loss of Dr Singh, whom he hailed as a mentor and guide, and of whom he said "millions will remember him with the utmost pride". "Manmohan Singh ji led India with immense wisdom and integrity. His humility and deep understanding of economics inspired the nation," Mr Gandhi said.

Meanwhile, two former Chief Ministers - Bhupesh Baghel of Chhattisgarh and Bhupinder S Hooda of Haryana - and Rajya Sabha MP Abhishek Singhvi were also among those posting early tributes. "I am saddened by the news of the demise of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, a great economist... a pioneer of economic reforms in India and one who, through his work, took the country forward on the path of progress and gave it a distinct identity..." Mr Hooda said. दुनिया के महान् अर्थशास्त्री, भारत में आर्थिक सुधारों के पुरोधा और अपने काम के ज़रिये देश को प्रगति पथ पर आगे बढ़ाकर दुनिया भर में अलग पहचान दिलाने वाले पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री डॉ. मनमोहन सिंह जी के निधन की खबर से मन व्यथित है। उनके जाने से राजनीतिक जगत् को अपूरणीय क्षति हुई है, जो... pic.twitter.com/MTLZEzbQib — Bhupinder S Hooda (@BhupinderShooda) December 26, 2024 "His departure has caused an irreparable loss to the political world, which will be extremely difficult to compensate in the near future," the party's Haryana leader said. Mr Baghel, meanwhile, said, "A great national worker has left us today on the final journey of his life.

History will always be filled with your contributions." Mr Singhvi hailed Manmohan Singh as one of the few remaining, if not the last, gentlemen in politics. The Congress' Delhi unit called Mr Singh's death "an irreparable loss to Indian politics" and said, "May God give peace to the departed soul and strength to his family to bear this sorrow." Mr Singh's successor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also released a statement, with photos of the two leaders interacting at various public events over the years. "India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders, Dr Manmohan Singh ji . Rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist. He served in various government positions as well, including as Finance Minister, leaving a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years."

Eli Lilly Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) has been the darling of pharmaceutical stocks in the last 12 to 18 months, with shares rocketing upward as the popularity of its GLP-1 drugs has propelled revenue and earnings. Bear in mind, this is one of the oldest healthcare companies in the world, with a lineup of top-selling drugs across a range of disease categories that target everything from various cancers and cardiovascular ailments to endocrine disorders and neurological conditions. In the first nine months of 2024 alone, shares roared upward to the tune of about 62%. After the company reported its earnings for the third quarter of 2024, shares took a double-digit nosedive as investors responded negatively to a few key points, including a slight pullback in full-year guidance. The company also reported financial figures that were slightly below what Wall Street had expected. In terms of its full-year guidance, where Eli Lilly was targeting revenue for the 12-month period in the $45.4 billion to $46.6 billion range, the company is now projecting that it will deliver in the ballpark of $45.4 billion to $46 billion. Its Q3 revenue was around $800 million below what analysts had aimed for. That being said, a closer look is warranted, and the long-term outlook for this business is anything but dismal. Revenue in Q3 2024 rose 20% year over year to $11.4 billion. The company sold rights for its olanzapine portfolio in Q3, featuring products used to treat ailments such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. If you exclude revenue from this portfolio, Eli Lilly's top line actually jumped 42% on a year-over-year basis, which is a bit more than the 36% growth it reported in the second quarter. The company also reported net income of approximately $970 million in Q3. Tirzepatide, which is the main active ingredient in its top-selling drugs Mounjaro (for diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight loss), is being studied by Eli Lilly across multiple other disease areas. For example, positive phase 3 trial data from a 176-week study of tirzepatide demonstrated a 94% reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in adults with pre-diabetes who are obese or overweight. Another first-of-its-kind study initiated by Eli Lilly has been studying tirzepatide in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity. In this phase 3 trial, tirzepatide reduced heart failure symptoms and physical limitations while lowering the risk of worsening heart failure events by 38%. Risk of hospitalization for heart failure was also reduced by 56% in trial patients taking tirzepatide. In short, the future revenue and profit opportunities from tirzepatide may be in the very early innings. In Q3, sales of Mounjaro rose more than 121% year over year to $3.1 billion, while Zepbound (which was just approved last November) raked in $1.3 billion in sales. This was despite negative effects for both drugs cited by Eli Lilly that were caused by inventory decreases in the wholesaler channel. Blockbuster cancer drug Verzenio generated $1.37 billion in sales in the quarter, up 32% from one year ago, while sales of autoimmune disease drug Taltz jumped 18% to $879.6 million. While investors appear to be particularly reactionary in the current environment, that can present an opportunity for those with a sufficient buy-and-hold horizon to take a slice of the action. While Eli Lilly doesn't trade at a cheap valuation by any means, its annual dividend of $5.20 and steady increase to its payout can augment total investor returns. Investors who want to become part-owner in a top healthcare business with a steady global footprint may be remiss to overlook this quality stock. 2. Monday.com Monday.com (NASDAQ: MNDY) is a low-code and no-code platform that helps organizations build the work management tools and software applications they need to ensure business operations run smoothly. The company derives its revenue from monthly or annual subscription agreements that it enters into with customers who use its cloud-based platform. Monday.com's software enables everything from project management and collaboration to helping keep tools and files in a single location for easy access. Clients with little to no coding experience can leverage its platform to develop customized workflow apps featuring boards, charts, and other important automation solutions. Companies like Canva, Lionsgate , and Coca-Cola are just a handful of the big names on Monday.com's client roster. Investors have been particularly optimistic about Monday.com's performance recently, with shares skyrocketing to the tune of about 50% over the trailing 12-month period. As always, share price is never a reason to buy (or sell) a stock. You need to look at the underlying business, its drivers and detractors of growth, its financial performance, its industry, and its long-term growth runway to gain a clear picture of whether it's a wise fit for your portfolio. In the case of Monday.com, the company has only been in business since 2012, so it's still in the relatively early stages of its potential growth story. Management estimates that the company operates in a large and growing total addressable market, which could hit a valuation of $150 billion by the year 2026. The diverse range of solutions that Monday.com's platform offers allows it to target various segments of its overall market opportunity, including the $30 billion customer relationship management (CRM) software market. From a financial perspective, Monday.com is doing quite well. Its third-quarter revenue rose 33% from the year-ago period to $251 million, and the company officially surpassed the $1 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR) mark. Its overall net dollar retention rate (NRR) increased to 111%, while NRR for customers with more than $100,000 in ARR was 115%. The number of paid customers with more than $100,000 in ARR jumped 44% from one year ago. Meanwhile, the company's second-largest customer, which is an unnamed international technology company, more than doubled its seat count to 60,000 from 25,000. Although Monday.com is not profitable on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), cash flow is another core profitability metric to consider. From a free cash flow perspective, the company raked in $82.4 million of free cash flow, while net cash provided by operating activities was $86.6 million in Q3. While investors may need a certain level of risk tolerance to invest in software stocks, this resilient business looks like a compelling addition to a well-diversified portfolio.

JAMES MADISON 71, JACKSONVILLE STATE 65MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami's coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. The Dolphins were 2-6 and had lost three straight at that point. They'd played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a concussion. Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported. McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations," Campbell said after Miami's 34-15 win over the New England Patriots . “They didn't have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. ... That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old's contributions on the field and in the locker room. “There’s no one’s game I’ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,” defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, “being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can’t be matched, and that’s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he’s doing at 17 years.” Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons. He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles. “I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,” McDaniel said earlier this week. “It’s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn’t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he’s had.” The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami's defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday. Campbell broke down the team's pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler. “My job is to speak on behalf of what’s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,” McDaniel said. “I’m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together. “And he didn’t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLMike McDaniel stepped in to keep Dolphins from trading veteran DT Calais Campbell to Ravens

Arkansas receiver Andrew Armstrong said Tuesday that he is entering the NFL Draft. Later in the day, a school spokesman told reporters that Armstrong will skip the Razorbacks' bowl game. The destination isn't yet known. Armstrong led the Southeastern Conference in both receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,140) but caught just one touchdown in 11 games this season. His catches and yardage were both second-most in Arkansas history behind Cobi Hamilton, who had 90 receptions for 1,335 yards in 2012. "It's been a journey for the books and I wouldn't trade it for anything because it has made me into the man I am today," Armstrong said of his Razorbacks tenure in a social media post. "... I will never forget all the moments that were shared here in Fayetteville." Armstrong played two seasons at Texas A&M-Commerce before transferring to Arkansas ahead of the 2023 season. In two seasons with the Razorbacks, he caught 134 passes for 1,904 yards and six scores. --Field Level Media
